Migraine headaches affect about 15 percent of the population. Although men can actually suffer from migraines, it is the women that are more affected. Experts believe that migraine is hereditary as researches have revealed more than 80 percent of people suffering from it have a family history of the problem.

Migraine headaches may not seem so serious but without proper care and proper diagnosis, those headaches may develop into something more. It is recurrent and may be a manifestation of an underlying problem in the brain that can be really dangerous.

Causes of migraine

Migraines are actually caused by the changes in the size of the blood vessels that are found in the brain and in the head area. These changes may be due to some inflammation or constriction that prevents the blood from flowing properly.

Unlike the common type of headache, which only lasts for about a few hours, migraine headaches can last from four hours to as much as three days. It is more severe and more frequent than your ordinary type of headache. Migraine headache however only affect a certain area on the head, often the side area or the temples unlike the common type that encompasses the whole head including the neck.

People suffering from migraine headaches may also experience a hallucination called aura. Auras are visual perceptions that are presented as a zigzagging light or a bight spot. People often see these visual disturbances immediately before their migraine attack.

Tension headaches, as they are more commonly known in medical circles, can begin slowly and may usually occur in the middle of the day. Such headaches can occur either on a regular or occasional basis, depending on the level of stress an individual faces each day.

The tightening of the muscles in the back of the neck and scalp causes the pain that tension headaches bring. This creates a feeling of constant band-like pain that can last for 30 minutes to as long as the whole duration of the day. They can cause other problems such as disturbed concentration, irritability, difficulty in sleeping and fatigue.

Tension headaches are more of the environmental type rather than being an inherited trait. Such headaches may come and go with the amount of stress that one can handle normally.

Treatment for tension headaches can include taking non-prescription pain relievers such as aspirin and ibuprofen although some more serious cases may require the use of prescription medication. Different therapies such as biofeedback and stress management can also help in minimizing tension headaches.

Migraines can also cause an individual to feel constant and painful headaches. Migraines are usually characterized by a dull ache that further develops into a constant and throbbing pain felt mostly at the temples as well as the front and back head areas.

The pain that a migraine headache can bring is also accompanied by a feeling of nausea and vomiting as well as sensitivity to light and sound. Most migraines are brought about by several triggers such as stress, fatigue and insomnia. Several foods such as chocolate, alcohol and caffeine can also be migraine triggers.

Treating migraine can be done in two ways- medication and non-medication therapy. Medications used to treat migraines include analgesics that can help relieve the constant pain brought about by a migraine attack. Migraine therapies that do not make use of any medication for treatment are usually employed to take care of the symptoms as well as prevent or reduce the occurrence of attacks. The use of biofeedback and relaxation techniques has been proven to alleviate and even stopping migraine attacks from occurring.

Treating migraine

Prevention is still the number one treatment for migraine. The best way is to make sure that one avoids the factors that may trigger the attack.

One of those factors is stress. By learning to relax a bit and do some stress management, one can prevent migraine headaches from recurring. Try to spread your workload to a degree, which you can manage. Rest for a while when you feel that you are getting tired.

Another great way is to deal with the attack head on.

Relieve the pain in the head by keeping warm and avoiding extreme temperatures. If the problem is the position of the head when you are sleeping, buy a different pillow. Choose a fluffier one that will cushion your head better. You can also experiment with a different sleeping position.

You can also rub your temples and massage the area that is painful. Try to close your eyes for a while and let it rest especially when you have been staring at the computer screen for a long time.

So since last night I have had this awful headache just in the right side of my head, towards the front. I have never had a headache on just 1 side of my head. It hurts when I turn my head or bend down to pick something up. Like when I stand back up I feel this rush and my head throbs for a couple of seconds. All I can do is sit totally still. Could this just be a normal headache? Also, any suggestions to make it go away??? It hurts so bad. I have already tried ibuprofen but it’s not helping.

Headaches happen when the tissues covering the brain and muscles around the scalp and neck cause pain. The brain cannot feel pain itself. It’s the network of nerve fibers in the tissues and muscles that sense the pain and aching. They can be chronic, occasional or reoccurring. The amount of pain can vary too from mild to severe. They can get so severe that it disrupts daily life sometimes too.

Headaches that are caused by stress, sneezing, coughing, fever, and muscle tension are called tension headaches. Some conditions that also cause tension headaches are anxiety, depression, arthritis, and joint and bone disorders. Tension headaches are caused by muscles contracting in the neck, scalp and face, they can be severe but they are mostly temporary. The pain is often felt on both sides of the head and also can be joined by nausea, blurred vision, and even vomiting if severe enough. Chronic tension headaches can last weeks even months, they are normally caused by depression and anxiety.

Treatment for tension headaches can be as simple as a hot shower, a massage, or an aspirin. Antidepressants or prescription medication can be helpful too. Other means of relief are relaxation training and herbal supplements.

Migraines usually have severe pain on either both or one side of the scalp. Blurred vision, light sensitivity, and upset stomachs can occur as well. Signs a migraine is coming on are seeing flashing lights, weakness in a limb or limbs, tingling in the face and hands, confusion, speech difficulty, and temporary loss of vision. A migraine attack can last 3 to 4 days and the pain is normally felt in the forehead, temple, ear, jaw, or around the eye. In the time the headache is occurring increased urine and diarrhea can occur.

Stress reduction, elimination of certain foods, regular exercise can prevent migraines from occurring. Cold compresses to the head can be quick relief from a migraine. Pressing on the area of the pain may help as well.

There is also a type of headache that is caused by fever. Pneumonia, mumps, and measles can all cause toxic headaches. Repeated exposure to certain chemicals can also cause a toxic headache. A chemical used in preserving hot dogs, MSG flavor enhancer, and insecticide can all have these headache causing chemicals.

Traction headaches can happen if the muscles on the head and neck are pulled, strained, or stretched. Like squinting your eyes when you need to be wearing glasses or bifocals. Straining eyes tenses the muscles making the headache.

Inflammation headaches are from things like meningitis, sinuses, spine, neck, ear, and teeth problems. Hypertension and brain tumors cause inflammation headaches as well.

Not every headache will require going to see a doctor or specialist. Sometimes it can be because of missing a meal and eating will be a quick and simple fix for it. A hot or clod compress may help or taking an herbal supplement may help as well. New Chapter’s Headache Relief can provide effective all natural relief from a headache. it has all natural poppy extracts and that supports normal cerebral vascular blood flow and yellow bees wax that blocks the formation of inflammation. New Chapter’s Headache Relief will promote comfort and great relief from your headaches and can be found at Alterative Health Supplements.

The proof of pudding is in eating it. Similar is the case with some of these at home headache remedies. You may not get the certificate from the researchers and scientists to vouchsafe the efficacy of these medicines or line of action to meet the challenge of the headache. But many people have experienced relief from headaches by adopting these methods. So why not try them?

You have an even role to play in the treatment of your headache, along with your physician. Sometimes you may be in a better position to understand your headache than him. Most of the headaches unless they are medical cases are highly personal one.

When you have the headache you don’t even like the sight of the electric bulb. Headache has got something to do with the light effect. So when you have the headache, just get inside and seek your comfort in a dark room. Stay there for a while. You will feel the difference. The bright lights do reportedly, trigger migraine headaches.

Sometimes, your headache can be due to suffocation or if you are working in a stuffy room, not having proper ventilation! Just move out, take a stroll in the park or under a shady tree.

For a minor cover-up operation, take a tablet of pain-reliever to break the intensity of the headache. Don’t make it a habit, however.

Meditation requires lots of concentration. Can you meditate when you are suffering from headache? No harm in trying. If you are able to concentrate, meditation in the long run should be a panacea for

headache of all types.

There are many proven remedies for headaches. Lemon is found to be an important herb/fruit in negotiating your headache. Take the juice of two/three slices of lemons, along with some rock-salt. It should give immediate relief. The crust of the lemon has a role to play in further treatment of your headache. This treatment is generally good for the headache caused on account of heat. Pound the lemon crusts in to a fine paste and apply it on the forehead. It can be applied on temple as well.

The king of fruits, apple is a good remedy for your headache as well. Take it with a little rock salt everyday, first thing in the morning. Continue this treatment for about a week.

Your digestion and your headache have something to do with each other. Proper diet control and eating fruits with lots of fiber content helps you a lot in controlling the headache. Start the day by drinking a glass of warm water, if possible adding two spoonfuls of honey.

The listing of such treatment is indeed endless, and it can go on and on. Understand your headache and do what is suitable for you.
